Question

Describe what happens to the molecules in the ice as temperature of the ice increases

Answer 1

Answer:

When you heat ice, the individual molecules gain kinetic energy, but until the temperature reaches the melting point, they don't have energy to break the bonds that hold them in a crystal structure. They vibrate more quickly within their confines as you add heat, and the temperature of the ice goes up.

Answer 2

Answer:

As energy is transferred to the water molecules in the ice, the motion of the molecules increases. The motion of the molecules increases enough that it overcomes the attractions the water molecules have for each other causing the ice to melt.
